Private Pompeii and Herculaneum Tour by Car

Discover the fascinating lost world of antiquity in two of Italy’s most spectacular archaeological sites. Buried by rivers of choking ash after the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were paradoxically preserved by the very forces that heralded their destruction. Wander cobblestoned streets and explore houses and shops, baths, bakeries and more just as they were 2,000 years ago. Let our expert guides bring the ruins spectacularly to life, and learn what life was like in antiquity as you embark on an incredible journey back in time to the heyday of ancient Rome. We’ll take care of private transportation from your hotel in Naples and between the sites too, meaning that you’ll be travelling in comfort!

You will discover many aspects of the Roman lifestyle: you will see the amazing infrastructures, fruit of the renowned ingenuity of the Romans, the incredibly modern thermal baths, the shops, the villas of the rich as well as the houses of the poor.

You will be visiting ancient houses where you will admire the spectacular paintings commissioned by the owners, explore the ruins of temples, such as the one dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis and finally visit the Forum, heart of the political and administrative activity. You will also explore the buildings where the Romans used to enjoy their free time, such as the famous baths or the restaurants, where people were able to order from a menu painted on the wall.

The smaller nearby town of Herculaneum, a beach resort for the ancient Roman elites that was according to tradition linked to the great mythological hero Hercules, was also engulfed by the volcano’s ash cloud.

Herculaneum was a residential hub with superb dwellings – such as the House of Neptune and Amphitrite with its pristine mosaics, or the Villa of the Papyri – more than make up for it.

The tour includes the Thermopolium (fast-food restaurant), the Temple of Augustali, the Thermal Baths, the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, the House of the Bel Cortile, and the ancient beach where the remains of Herculaneum’s victims were unearthed.
